Cornerstone Laying.

TOO LITERAL BUTLER.
A few days ago one of Philadelphia’s
prominent society women told her but
ler to tell all visitors that she was not
at home. At night, when enumerating
the persons who had called during the
day, he mentioned the lady’s sister,
when his mistress exclaimed: “I told
you, man, that I was always at home
for my sister! You ought to have
shown her In.”
Next day the lady went out to make
a few calls, and during her absence her
sister came to the house.'
“Is your mistress at home?” she
naked the butler.
“Yes, madam," was the reply.
The lady went upstairs and looked
everywhere for her sister. On coming
downstairs she said to the butler:
“My slater must have gone out, for I
can not And her.”
“Yes. madam, she has gone out, but
ahe told me last night that she was
always at home to you.”—Philadelphia
Record.
HYPOTHETICAL.
“Miss De Smythe," began the young
man, ”1 want to ask you a hypothetical
question.”
The girl nodded assent.
“If a young man of good family and
sound health and an assured Income, of
$5,000~were to meet the most charming
of girls and feed her Ice cream for a
year; If she had a complexion like a
rose, hair a crown of golden glory, the
hand of a fairy, the bearing of a queen;
if she knew how* not to play the piano,
how to Induce her small brother to ab
sent himself; was versed in cooking,
competent to superintend a home, and
if the young man auspiciously catching
the girl alone were to murmur Into her
ear of pearl, ‘Will you marry me?’ what,
In your estimation, would be her condi
tion of mind, and what her answer?"
“While not an expert alienist," re
sponded the girl coyly, “I think she’d
believe him a chump foe fceing so slow,
but she’d say *ye8.’ “
With the preliminaries thus settled,
the naming of the day was a simple
matter.—Philadelphia Ledger.

HE WAS FORTIFIED.
Professor Masson, of Edinburgh, au
thor of a compendious life of Milton,
was once exasperated by tho listless
ness of a student In one of his classes.
After bearing long In srlence the young
man’s inattention, the professor one
day broke off In, the midst of his lec
ture and addressed himself to the stu
dent. “May I ask you, sir,” said he,
“whether you expect to pass this
course?*’ 'Thave hopes, sir,” answered
the student. “Then when the examina
tion comes, sir, you will wish for notea
on these lectures. What will you do for
them?” "I have my father’s, sir," was
the reply.—The Bellman.
HAD TOO MANY TRICKS.
The Irishman wanted to sell the dog,
but the prospective buyer was sus
picious and finally decided not to -l>uy.
The man then told him why he was so
anxious to sell.
“You see,” he said, “I bought the dog
and trained him myself. I got him ao
he’d hark ull the time If a person
stepped inside the gate, and I thought I
was safe from burglars. Then my wife
wanted me to train him to carry bun
dles, and I- did. If I put a packet in his
mouth the dog would keep It there till
someone took it away. Well, one night
I woke up and heard someone In tho
next room. I got up and grabbed my
gun. They were there—three of tho
scoundrels and the dog."
“Didn't he bark?” Interrupted the
man.
“Narry a bark; he was too busy."
“Busy? What doing?"
“Carrying a lantern for the burg
lars.”—Dublin Freeman.
This handsome new Graphophone has a large
quartered oak Cabinet, a noiseless Motor that can
be wound while running, and a beautifully decorated
flower Horn—black or red. It is bquipped with
the same patent aluminum Tone-Arm and the same
Reproducer that have made the Graphophone
famous for mellow resonance and sweetness of tone.
The six records arc rcgular^lO-inch Columbia disc
records,—beyond comparison for pureness of tone,
faithful reproduction and absence of foreign noise.

A Misguided Novaliat.
“I have written a story," said the
ambitious young novelist, “that I think
you will wish to publish. May I bring
the manuscript around for your ex
amination?"
"Is the hero a married man who falls
In love with a young girl or elopes with
another man’s wife?” asked the pub
lisher. ^
"No. It Isn’t a sex problem story. I
have tried to make it—" •
“l suppose It deals with high finance.
Is Rockefeller, thinly disguised, tho
central figure?”
“No. I’m not a financial expert. I
have kept away from that sort of thing.
It seems tS me that the financial prob
lem has been pretty well worked out,
anyhow. I have tried—”
Oh. I see. It’s a political* novel. You
show up the methods of the men who
keep themselves in ofilce against the
wishes ofc the people. Is the leading
character a senator or a governor?"
“I have kept away from politics, too.
My story Is—"
"Ah, It takes up tho question of re
ligion. I see. Well, I might be tempted
to publish a story of that kind of—"
“No. It Isn’t p. religious story. I
Gould not feel competent to write
such a—”
"Then, It must be a historical novel.
Really, I nm afraid that sort of thing
has been overdone. The last three his
torical novels that I have published
have fallen rather fiat.”
“No, my story Is Just a romance. A
love stoey, Intended to entertain and to
amuse. There is no attempt to deal
with any great problem, but I havo
endeavored to give it a literary Ma
yor. to—”
“My dear sir, It Is evident that you
don’t understand why we have such a
thing us fiction. 1 could not possibly
undertake to publish such a story ua
yours. You might as well expect peo
ple to buy poetry as to think they would
have a novel that possessed n literary
flavor."—Chicago Record-Herald.
